Configuring an IFrame component

For an IFrame component, you configure the URL to display, and determine whether to require additional authentication in order to view the content.

To configure an IFrame component:

  1. On the IFrame edit view, in the Source URL field, type the URL.
    Edit view of the IFrame component
  2. If the URL is relative to the context path for the Studio application, check the Relative to Context Path checkbox.
  3. If the page you are embedding in the IFrame component requires authentication, then you can provide the authentication information as part of the component configuration. To do this:
    1. Check the Authenticate checkbox.

      The authentication fields are displayed.
